What are the Disadvantages of a Torque Sensor?
- It is susceptible to interference from electromagnetic waves at the site of use.
- Since it is battery-powered, it can only be used for a short period
- Due to the structure attached to the rotating shaft.
- It is easy to cause dynamic balance problems at high speeds. It is more prominent when the range and small diameter shaft are small.
Digital torque sensors absorb the advantages of the above methods and overcome their shortcomings. Two sets of rotary transformers are designed based on strain sensors to achieve non-contact transmission of energy and signals. And the transmission of torque signals is independent of whether it rotates.
What are the Benefits of Torque Control?
1. Improve tightening accuracy:
By real-time monitoring and controlling the torque value, each screw is ensured to be tightened within the preset torque range. Avoid material damage caused by over-tightening. Avoid loose connections caused by over-looseness. thereby improving the overall quality of the product.
2. Improve production efficiency:
The automated tightening system combines with the torque sensor. It can achieve fast and accurate screw tightening operations. Reduce manual intervention and improve production efficiency. At the same time, it can also automatically record tightening data for easy traceability and management.
3. Reduce costs:
Accurate control of torque can reduce rework and repair costs caused by improper screw tightening. In the long run, it is beneficial for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
4. Enhance production safety:
In situations where high torque tightening is required. such as automotive engines. aerospace and other fields. Torque sensors can effectively prevent safety accidents caused by excessive torque.
